  They do NOT teach that salvation comes through the governing body
  

  I think a solid case could be made otherwise.

  They teach and promote morality and honesty. I think those are good things, don't you?
  

  The morality and honesty promoted by the WT is perverse.

  It’s thinly veiled and based on appearance, the motivating force is fear and judgment. I can’t give any credit. I could have got better morals as a child from watching tv episodes of ‘Neighbours’.

  I’ve worked with JWs, legitimate business. Some are good, some can’t be trusted.

  What’s most important about being a good JW is ticking a few boxes.

  Dress nice, go to the meetings, and preaching (rarely reported honestly.) Outside of this, your morality matters little.

  Fuck, their own elers manual says it. You can have had prostitutes and cocaine addiction, as long as you have maintained the appearance of morality, you needn’t worry.

  Myriads and Myriads of Angels ... What Do They Do?

  by RubaDub in

  i never understood this in my entire life in the borg.. who knows how many angels there are, millions, billions?.

  an angel protected rahab when the walls of jericho fell.

  then one angel killed 24,000 one night.. yet there seems to be this paranoia in the borg like the bunker video and the field video where jw's are under attack and apparently alone or at least it appears alone.. can't a few angels be put on overtime and protect the brothers from the potential "authorities" that wish to harm or eliminate them?.

  In regards to the blood, it would be hard to know figures. I know of 2 JWs who faced emergency medical treatment, both took the blood required.

  I doubt there is anything in the JW lifestyle that makes it less likely they’ll require blood. For example in Australia the JWs love riding dirt bikes as much as the general population, accidents are common.

  Also in Australia, you can’t refuse blood on behalf of your minor child, the child will always get blood if the doctors say the child needs it.

  Jesus is the mediator for the anointed, who are limited to exactly 144000. According to the WT the New Testament is primarily for them.

  Everyone else, aka the great crowd of scum needs to grovel before the governing body . The bible is not actually for them, nor is Jesus their mediator.

  They rarely print this but it’s basically what they teach.

  Only my mothers side of the family has the JW virus, my fathers side does not. The family without the JW side are much closer. My JW family discard many individuals, even their children, for life. I can honestly say that making friends in the world I immediately noticed stronger family connections. That’s not to say everythings perfect, but relationships are much healthier.

  They also tend to be fairly clean living and law abiding so it's swings and roundabouts
  

  That’s debatable. All things being equal, I don’t see the JW religion doing anything but harm.

  I agree with Simon, Jonestown comparisons don’t help. But at the same time I believe the damage this cult inflicts on families would susprise the average person.

  I can’t believe when I read about those maintain a JW facade, for years even decades just to keep family relations. That says enough about their “Christian family”

  How many well adjusted young JW adults around these days? I suspect they’re uncommon, most are fairly socially damaged individuals. I also know a few people who have had full psychological breakdowns learning the TTATT. I nearly went insane myself, or I did. Point is, I think it would be hard to exaggerate to most people how fucked up a JW upbringing is.

  It’s just full blast fundamental Christianity with a few unique doctrines that are very cruel.

  It can only be good thing. The media in Australia won’t run anything about JWs, we get shit like the “duchess looks stunning in blue” and “Hemsworth removes shirt on beach”. Most actually don’t know anything at all about JWs, or even give a shit. I think that most though would be shocked at the level of fundamentalism and control among the JWs, combine that with the giant child abuse cover ups, the WT will never win the PR battle that’s getting underway.

  Funny thing is, you don’t even have to misconstrue what he says, or take anything out of context. You can laugh anytime he opens his mouth, this guy is 100% wacko.

  Is he taking a kindergarten class? Does he want JWs to act like small children? Is he a small child? So many questions, and sadly I doubt his body will ever be donated to science so we may never get answers.

  Circuit Accounts Servants Confesses how the SCAM WORKS!!

  yes, i too have wondered how an assembly that is held in a fully paid for assembly hall, with no food service, could possibly have $10,000 in expenses.

  i suppose the bethel speakers have transportation expenses - maybe $1000 or so.

  as for rent on the assembly hall, well you have already paid for it once, why pay again?

  Virtually all maintenance is carried out for free by the slaves so there has never been any justification for the ‘deficits’.
